Abstract

A wide range of silicon ICs have been demonstrated for high-speed, high-bandwidth optical data communications. These include a 12-channel VCSEL array driver at 10.3125 Gbps per channel for box/board level interconnects, a 7-tap distributed transversal filter for LAN/SAN interconnects, OC-768 receiver and transmitter for NVAN/MAN/Campus interconnects, and exploratory silicon 10 Gbps photodetectors for potential integration with logic circuits. In addition, high-speed circuits, >100 Gbps, and parallel array testers have been demonstrated to facilitate both high-speed and massively parallel optical link evaluation.
